Because it helps you feel a surge of energy throughout your body. You feel good. Pains disappear and you heal faster and you can start a healthy life again.

How is it done?

This process takes about 15 minutes and we recommend that you do it once or twice a week. The room where the machine is located is very private. You lie down on the bed of the machine, exposing as much of the skin of the body. Your eyes are protected with specially made glasses. Within a few minutes, the red light comes on and you lie still for about 8 to 15 minutes. Once the red light goes off, rest for a few minutes, dress back up and unlock the door to exit the room.

What if you did this consistently?

You are able to recover from your workouts faster.You will heal faster which will allow you to push yourself harder because of your ability to heal faster. Your overall performance and stamina will improve massively. Combined with diet and exercise, Photobiomodulation therapy will add to your ability to maintain your energy levels while you make your way to your optimum weight.

Who else is using Photobiomodulation therapy?

It is being used by elite athletes and peak performers. The US Olympic team athletes used this to their advantage at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and they attribute their major gold medal wins to this procedure that helped them to recover faster, train harder, achieve better performance and greater results.

When it comes to obesity Erectile Dysfunction, size matters but not in the way you think! (Big Belly and ED!)

What is GainsWave therapy for ED?

GainsWave is one form of Acoustic wave therapy for ED and has been remarkably successful in improving the sex life of men when Viagra, Cialis and other ED medications stop working.

What is the relationship between Obesity and Erectile Dysfunction?

Obesity is strongly correlated with erectile dysfunction due to its impact at several levels on the sequence of normal sexual function in men.

What is the best way of measuring Obesity as it relates to ED?

Obesity is measured in several ways. Weight, BMI and waist circumference are the most common ones. Most medical offices monitor Body Mass Index as a measure of health and wellness.

To my surprise, I learnt recently that the correlation between increased waist circumference and Erectile dysfunction was stronger compared to other measures of obesity like BMI.

The study that changed the way I help patients with ED:

A study published in the international journal of andrology in 2016 showed that waist circumference is superior to weight and BMI in predicting sexual symptoms in men with hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction.

A group of men with low T levels were included in the study. 3 % of them had normal waist circumference of 37.6 inches. 28% and 69% displayed waist circumferences that were increased (37.6 inches–40.76 inches) or significantly increased (≥40.76 inches), respectively. All of them were treated with Testosterone injections and their weight, BMI and waist circumference were monitored and correlated with their degree of ED improvement.

Patients with the greatest reduction in waist circumference showed the most improvement in ED scores compared to those who had lower reduction in their waist circumference.

The interesting finding in this study was that the correlation between weight, BMI and improvement in ED scores were relatively minor compared to waist circumference.

Treating ED: A holistic approach using waist circumference as a predictive measure of improving sexual function.

Those men who present with obesity, reduction in waist circumference is of paramount importance to improve erectile function and should be part of a holistic approach with Gainswave pulse wave therapy or any other form of intervention in addition to maintaining adequate levels of Testosterone.

What is the most effective Diet plan to help reduce waist size and improve ED?

I am a strong proponent of the Intermittent Fasting program to help eliminate belly fat fairly quickly. You will feel better and will have a better chance of overcoming your ED issues when combined with GainsWave therapy. Call us anytime for obesity and erectile dysfunction related queries.

WHAT IS NAD?

Nicotinamide NAD: What is it? NAD supplements are all the rage on the internet as part of a group of Age Reversal Supplements. Some people call it Nicotinamide Dinucleotide, while it actually stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD).

What does NAD do? It is a cofactor in all living cells and functions to maintain normal energy supply and protect the cell from damage.

NAD and Aging: What is the connection? NAD levels decline with age as does disease states especially Addiction issues. It is considered to be the best anti aging supplement on the market.

Getting off drugs: The best alternative addiction treatment that fixes the root of the problem. NAD plays a major role in deaddiction therapy.

NAD IV Therapy: A revolution in stopping cravings by helping repair the addicted brain. NAD IV therapy is the most effective way to flood the brain and the body with this nutrient to facilitate healing.

Most Drug abuse treatment protocols use substitute medications and / or comfort medications with various behavioral therapies but do not correct the deep underlying biochemical damage that has been caused by addictive drugs. NAD IV therapy overcomes this by working at the level of the DNA.

NAD Injections cost: Compared to the cost of traditional drug rehabilitation centers and drug recovery programs with its high failure rates, NAD IV Therapy saves money and resources over the long term by improving your overall physical and cognitive health. The program is customized to each individuals needs and the cost will vary. As of this date, Insurance does not cover these treatments. NAD supplements that will be prescribed will continue to help maintain the effects of NAD IV therapy.

Drug Detox centers do play a role to stabilize an acutely ill patient, NAD IV therapy, on the other hand is done in an outpatient office setting and saves time and money compared to in house drug rehab centers.

If you or your loved ones wish to consider stopping cravings and need help getting off drugs, please consider NAD IV therapy.

The GAINSWave Secret

Happy Valentines day…

Listen up Men!! This Valentines day consider GainsWave to “Get in on the action, and stay there longer”! If you are happy with your sex life and want to get better..read on. If you are, like a lot of men who have issues ….continue on….

ED Treatment or VIAGRA and Cialis work by increasing blood flow to the penis through healthy blood vessels. When they stop working, men become increasingly frustrated with their sex life, leading to relationship issues, shame, lack of confidence and depression.

Imagine an interstate highway which is functioning well for several years. after much use, the road breaks down and becomes difficult for traffic to flow through easily.. Imagine that a road block occurs due to some form of an obstruction. This will really slow down traffic to a stand still and nothing gets through past the obstruction. The solution is for the obstruction to be removed and allowing the return of the free flow of traffic.

In a similar fashion, age and multiple disease states accelerates blockage of blood vessels in different parts of the human body. Most commonly, this is seen as blockage of heart blood vessels showing up as angina and a heart attack. What is less obvious is the slowing of blood flow due to blockage of the blood vessels that feed the genitals in men. Drugs like Cialis and Viagra would work forcing more blood through these imperfect blood vessels. But a time is reached when the obstruction in the blood vessels becomes so severe that very little blood gets through.to create a usable erection thus manifesting as ED treatment. This is when viagra and Cialiis stop working.

GainsWave machine : Acoustic wave therapy for ED Treatment.

It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that breaks up obstruction in the penile blood vessels thus restoring the normal flow of blood to a fully functional state without the need for surgical interventions such as a penile implant.

The most common questions people ask us about this procedure:

How long does Gainswave last : This depends on the severity of ED at the outset and how well the underlying conditions that caused ED in the first pace are controlled.

Gainswave success rate : This depends on the degree of obstruction of the blood vessels and is determined using scoring system called the SHIM score.

Finally:

Gainswave price : This is a cash based procedure and is not covered by Insurance. It is extremely cost-effective given the value that is added to the clients life.

We have several other methods that complement each other in maximizing your sexual health issues,

Give us a call so we can personalize a treatment plan specific for you and your situation and make all your Valentine’s day dreams come true..or decide to sit out in the cold…Your choice! 561-210-9999

How to Prevent Cellulite

Cellulite is a fat deposit beneath the skin. Cellulite appears as lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and belly.A wide variety of factors contribute to the amount of this fat ranging from lifestyle to genetics.

Causes of cellulite that can be stabilized and controlled to various degrees include stress, hormones, poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, inactivity and weight gain.

Pregnancy and Genetic predisposition are known factors for cellulite deposition. Women are at higher risk than men due to their estrogen levels. Other high risk factors include women with high stress and inactive careers.

So how do we maintain a productive life and reduce the amount of fat in our bodies?

Anti cellulite Diet

Refined and processed foods are high in preservatives, unnecessary salts, and fat. If not burned to fuel your body, these foods quickly turn to fat. Sugars, Sweeteners, and high sugar products have been traced to a cause of cellulite through hormones and weight gain. Dairy is another food group to limit. Estrogen is commonly pumped into cows to increase milk production. When consumed, this can cause an increase in estrogen levels in your body. Not all fat is bad. Fatty fish, such as salmon and mackerel, are an example of a positive fat which actually helps the body to metabolize problem fat, like cellulite. Overall, limiting consuming foods rich in anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, trace minerals and lecitin with B vitamins will help prevent cellulite.

Exercise to reduce cellulite:

Exercises, especially cardio, helps to stimulate blood circulation in problem areas. Light exercise throughout the day is an excellent way to ensure your body’s exercise needs are being met. Walks on lunch break, standing at your desk for 20 minutes, and yoga sessions will help to increase blood flow.

Estrogen

Talk to your doctor about your hormone, especially your estrogen levels and make sure they are optimized.

Topical creams

The best time to apply creams are right after exercise when the circular system still has increased activity. There are many types of creams on the market today. When selecting a cream, always check for the active ingredients. Centella Asiatica, (also known Asiatic pennywort or Gotu kola) is a key ingredient in many cellulite topical treatments. This medicinal herb restores the elasticity of the skin. Ginkgo Biloba acts as an antioxidant to oxidize fat cells and stimulate blood flow. Methyl Nicotinate stimulates the drainage of liquid and aids in detoxification.

Massage for it

Massage may reduce it by improving lymphatic drainage. It can also help stretch your skin tissue — this can help stretch out those dimples, too.

Stop Smoking

Do we need to say anything more?

Moderate your Alcohol intake

The amount of calories consumed add up quickly to throw your metabolism off balance and help store fat.

Essentially, a healthy lifestyle is the key to prevent cellulite.

These healthy steps will not only help you look good, prevent it but also will add years to your life!

Alternative Pain Management For Cancer Patients

Acupuncture for cancer pain: This process is simple to do and in the right hands is amazingly effective.
Acupuncture was found to be effective for the reduction and relief of symptoms that commonly affect patient QOL. This has been widely adopted in major cancer centers around the country such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Medical Cannabis: Studies have long shown that cancer patients who took marijuana extracts in clinical trials tended to need less pain medicine. Medical Cannabis is different from street cannabis in that, Medical Cannabis is a well regulated industry and we are assured of its quality and contents. Hemp derived CBD oil has claims that it is effective but hard to quantify in terms of quality and contents. The Society of Integrative Oncology and the Society of Cannabis Clinicians are some of the organizations that are advocates for this modality of treatment. Unfortunately, most cancer physicians are unaware of the benefits of Medical Cannabis even though it is legal under Florida law.

Biofeedback for pain control: In combination with other modalities, biofeedback teaches patients to learn how to invoke positive physical changes in the body, using body sensors as guides. They learn to relax specific muscles when the body is physically or mentally stressed. The goal of biofeedback is to eventually be able to produce a therapeutic response without the help of technology.

Hypnotherapy for pain management: Hypnotic analgesia has been used successfully in a number of ways to help patients with pain. For acute pain, it has proven effective in interventional radiology and various surgical procedures. Chronic pain conditions for which hypnosis has been used successfully include, among others, headache, backache, fibromyalgia, carcinoma-related pain, temporal mandibular disorder pain, and mixed chronic pain. Hypnosis works by alleviating the experience of pain and improves quality of life. The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis is involved in active research in this area of pain management.

Published Clinical Practice Guidelines of Cancer Pain in Adult Patients have continued to ignore these alternate interventions, even though they are being adopted by some of the major Academic Cancer centers in the country.

Patients need to take control of their wellbeing by being educated and explore these options.

5 Causes of Erectile Dysfunction that are not so obvious.

Low Testosterone levels in men are an obvious cause of Erectile Dysfunction and can be corrected with Testosterone supplementation. However, some men with ED may have Testosterone in a “normal” range. Many of these men need to be aware of some of the hidden causes of ED where Testosterone replacement therapy may not be helpful.

These are:

Several prescription and OTC drugs can cause Erectile Dysfunction: These include antidepressant medications, blood pressure medications to name just a few. Go over the medications that you are taking and find out if they are causing ED.

Metabolic syndrome and ED: This would include a combination of diabetes, obesity and hypertension that cause damage to blood vessels and nerves contributing to Erectile Dysfunction.

Cigarette smoking, Alcohol and ED: Despite all the hype and commercials, please be aware that Alcohol and smoking does kill sexual function in men!

Peyronie’s Disease: This appears as a lump within the penis causing a painful curvature when an erection is attempted. Pulse wave therapy would benefit these patients.

Nerve Damage from bicycle riding: Pressure on the nerves in the perineal area can cause damage and contribute to Erectile dysfunction.
